(Image via Wikipedia) In recent days I’ve seen multiple articles warning of dire hospital conditions, anonymous reports of shortages without naming the hospitals, rumors online about panicked nurses, and other “sky-is-falling” Chicken Little-ism over the Chinese-made Coronapocalypse. One of the claims comes from Hillary Clinton herself, citing a CBS News article and claiming nurses are

Just how prevalent were these rumors? Paul Bedard wrote about them last night at the Washington Examiner, but he apparently heard about contingency plans for a national lockdown from his sources on Capitol Hill. Earlier today, Donald Trump replied “I don’t think so” when asked if a national lockdown was getting any consideration. “Essentially you’ve

On Wednesday, Senate Republicans unveiled the Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security (CARES) Act, which would be the third major piece of legislation to help Americans amid the coronavirus crisis. The Heritage Foundation analyzed this byzantine labyrinth of proposals and raised important alarms about many provisions while acknowledging the bill’s many positive reforms. American businesses are
To repeat a point I made last night: Does anyone outside the Senate GOP itself think $600 to poor people versus $1,200 to everyone else (up to $75,000 in income) is a good or fair idea? It’s terrible policy and terrible politics, especially while they’re weighing the precise number of billions to shower on airlines

During today’s meeting of the U.S. Commission on Civil Rights, the liberal majority voted to issue a statement expressing “grave concern” regarding “growing anti-Asian racism and xenophobia” related to the coronavirus pandemic.

Deutsche Welle reports that researchers at Iran’s own Sharif Institute of Technology in Tehran have come up with a best-case and a worst-case scenario on Iran’s coronavirus crisis. In the best-case scenario—“in which the government quarantines all high-risk areas, people strictly obey quarantine rules, and access to sufficient medical supplies is guaranteed—the country would reach
This might come as a surprise to many who argue that closing the southern border is all but impossible. After reaching agreement with Canada to close the northern border to all but trade and the most essential travel, the US and Mexico may announce a similar agreement as early as today.

South Korea is the country that appears to have handled this crisis best. One thing it has managed to do is to focus social controls on sick people (or potentially sick people) and their contacts more than the blunderbuss closings and lockdowns that we are resorting to.

It’s a fait accompli. Former Vice President Joe Biden will be the Democratic nominee. Sure, Sen. Bernie Sanders (S-USSR) still has a slight mathematical possibility of winning enough delegates to unseat the frontrunner, but it’s effectively a done deal. CNN is shutting down its Democratic primary podcast, the Forecast Fest, because the battle’s over, and

You will not believe what is happening out there on the roads to the tireless truckers who are keeping America running during coronapocalypse: no bathrooms, food shut down, and idiot governors closing rest areas where they sleep.

During last Sunday’s Democratic primary debate, former Vice President Joe Biden made a number of claims that were questionable, to say the least.
